Harry Potter Mixology: The Death Eaters Cocktail Concoctions Edition

By: Ashley Bryce and Liana Cole

“They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty.”

– Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

The Death Eaters are the followers of Lord Voldemort.

They are known for their black hoods, masks, and the Dark Mark burned on to their left forearms.

Cruel and ruthless, Death Eaters fought for pure-blood ideals and to take control over muggles and the wizarding world alike.

Devoted to the leader, they both feared and revered, they fought valiantly in his honor knowing deflection and disloyalty meant torture and ultimately death.

In celebration of this evil group, prepare for cocktails that prove being bad never tasted so good.

The Death Eaters

The Death Eaters are an ambitious group of witches and wizards with little regard for wizarding law or the lives of others.

Members of this notorious group practice the Dark Arts and do spells others wouldn’t even fathom.

A strong, deadly shot is appropriate for these elite troublemakers.

1 oz Jagermeister

1 oz Red bull

Splash of grenadine

Directions:

Pour jager and red bull in shaker with ice

Shake

The Bellatrix Lestrange

Bellatrix was fiercely loyal to Lord Voldemort. In fact, she chose to sit and wait for his return in Azkaban, rather than renouncing her allegiance.

Despite being one of the few female Death Eaters, she was one of the most merciless and sadistic.

A near psychopath, a nutty drink is perfect for this crazy, dangerous beauty.

The Lucius Malfoy

Lucius is a man attracted to power; his blood purity beliefs made him an ideal Death Eater.

A man of prominence, he prides himself in being a part of one of the oldest and richest wizarding families.

A ruthless snob, a bourbon drink is ideal for a man whose status means everything.

1 oz Bourbon

4 oz lemonade

Add ice to glass

Pour in Bourbon

The Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail

Wormtail was once a friend and member of the Marauders became a double agent and Death Eater for Lord Voldemort, betraying the people who trusted him most.

A skilled Animagus, Wormtail could change into a rat which is helpful in his cowardice, making him excellent at disappearing.

Latching on to those who could protect him, Wormtail was selfish and disloyal.
